You are spossed to consume the protein in relation to your lean body weight ;) 1 gram per pound of lean bodyweight to maintain muscle (like if you're cutting or losing weight) and 1.5-2 grams for muscle gains. You'd have to either get your bf tested.. or just guess. That's what I do.. I...

Still trying for the earlier workouts, this is much better :) Lisa- did they have fried oreo's where you went? I went to the boardwalk on vacacion a few weeks ago and there's not a single healthy thing to eat.. I kept saying i wanted to try the fried oreo's before I left (even though they seem...

What is going on?!?! I don't get it.. Over the past few months I have been noticing Im sleeping in later and later.. Ive never been an early riser.. 8ish was fine for me (+/- half hour). The past two months Id say it has really gotten worse! Ive been sleeping til 11ish (even in my teens I...

Hi Ladies- Hope you are all heading to overeat somewhere's at a cookout (as I am hehe).. But I have to get the hardcore part out of the way so I can utilize all that pasta salad and burgers! Cardio- 15 minutes of 30 second Jumprope intervals .. and two little laps around the house.. (im not...

Great advice on here! Hope it helps you.. heres a little from my personal struggle with this.. I had this same issue.. my progress was painfully slow.. then I did some research and experimenting.. Diet and proper nutrition is over 70% of your results. I finally broke through my "plateau"...

Well I found some monkey bars at a local playground so I could do some pullups lol!! .. now I still need that squat rack and ill be all set ;) I guess I didnt do much..back day doesn;t involve a lot of moves, just hard ones for the lats..the other two splits are more intense.. Back- OH...

Hey Catherine I finally found a park with some monkey bars hehe.. well, actually they were the low plastic kinds so the pullups were still modified. Ive found that its easier for me to do a whole pullup from a hanging start rather that with my knees bended up. But even tho I couldn't hang from...

Is anyone away for the long weekend? Doesn't seem to be much excitment on the thread this morning (and I think this is the earliest Ive ever gotten on it :) My workouts have been unusually late lately so Im going to post last nights, this morning.. Im not really liking my home workouts for...

Lancome Miracle!! One of my personal favourites.. perfums differ for everyone as they mix with your own scent.. what is good on one person won't be good on another and if it smells nice in the bottle it might not on us.. sucks :T Miracle is young, yet sophisticated.. but not "mature" or...

Good morning maniacs.. Im going to the beach today (even though its only going to be mid-70's).. so my workout will be later.. Toasty- Have you tried Sissy Squats? I recently added them in my routines and they now have a permanent spot in my database of exercises :) they isolate the quad...

I have NOT Catherine.. Im taking the day off today so might take a look around :D Until i get the squat rack and pullup substitute Ill have to make do with a day pass at the gym every three workouts or so.. which means having to do lighter workouts and/or trying to figure out how to get the...

For me I think and ponder and stress myself about it for months until I just wake up one morning "ready". I just know then that its time (for whatever the current situation happens to be). ..and there is no more pondering and comparing pros/cons.. im just ready to do it.. However I must mention...

Mmm.. Im always the last to post :T Ive been doing everything late lately.. however my spotter for bench presses is away and I knew I was skating tonight so I didn't want to do weights and cardio the same day.. So I just skated for two hours tonight. Im exhausted and stinky hehe Good...

FitnessFreak- Is this diet for bulking or tweaking your metabolism (or both)?? Sounds like *fun* lol.. Ive been bulking and having to up my macros and its the HARDEST THING IVE EVER HAD TO DO lol! (and this is from someone that ised to be a compulsive binger!) Good luck either way I look forward...

Well as a result of yesterdays workout Im not sure that I will be doing anything today.. maybe some ab's if I get the strength or some cardio later might be nice.. maybe Ill go skating? I typically have a LEG day (which is pretty intense), but decided yesterday (cuz I got busy late in the week...

Hey just chiming in here.. I think you should assess your heavy lifting routine (is it *really* heavy?) Just want to remind anyone that thinks that they are getting "bulky" that muscle isn't built in females that easily. Most women's that see "bulk" aren't seeing too much muscle, but too much...

Hey! I have been havving the same problem! The past month or so I have been sleeping in much later and have been having a real hard time with energy. Its usually late in the afternoon or early evening when I finally get some energy and that's when I have been doing my workouts (instead of...

That's fine.. I typically go by anything hehe.. I haven't tried a chinup yet.. I just started the pulldowns and whatnot about 5 weeks ago, so I wanted to wait until I built up more strength.. I view them as the most challenging one of the three pullup grips and I'd be afraid i'd pull something...

Hey Catherine, No one was on the Maniac thread either.. hmm.. must be nice weather everywheres for everyone :) I haven't been doing pullups lately, my one month gym membership is up and I can't have a bar in the house.. Every 2 or 3 lower body workouts Ill be getting a day pass though and will...
